Hollywood, here I come!

Subject: Hollywood, here I come! Mon Apr 27, 2009 12:17 pm

Since I'm hogging the ComicCon thread, and I'm not even going, lol, I thought I'd start an L.A. thread.

I booked a relatively cheap non stop flight and I'll be staying in Hollywood for four days.

I found a hotel steps away from the walk of fame, so I'll be able to walk or take a bus anywhere I want to go. Alice, if you're coming, I'll be happy to book a double!

When are you coming over?

Subject: Re: Hollywood, here I come! Mon Apr 27, 2009 1:45 pm

Arriving July twenty first and leaving the twenty fourth. If' G's premiere is outside of those dates, I'm going to personally slap him upside the head.

Subject: Re: Hollywood, here I come! Mon Apr 27, 2009 2:13 pm

yikes...

So, we're hoping that the premiere is right before the movie comes out?

Subject: Re: Hollywood, here I come! Mon Apr 27, 2009 3:39 pm

I sure as hell am!

Subject: Re: Hollywood, here I come! Mon Apr 27, 2009 3:44 pm

Don't they usually have the premiere about a week or so before the actual opening? I thought the opening was July 24.

Subject: Re: Hollywood, here I come! Mon Apr 27, 2009 4:07 pm

In my observations, premieres usually happen a couple of days before the actual release date. Regardless, I miss the ocean and I need to touch base with it.

It's all good. ESPECIALLY, if I get to meet a few of you.

According to TUT's website, the North American premiere is July 24th.

You may well be slapping someone, Leo.

Subject: Re: Hollywood, here I come! Mon Apr 27, 2009 4:18 pm

I think that's the release date, hon.

Subject: Re: Hollywood, here I come! Tue Apr 28, 2009 8:09 am

Leo I hope you have a fabulous time. bounce

Subject: Re: Hollywood, here I come! Tue Apr 28, 2009 12:34 pm

Thanks, babe.

Wish you were coming. $Doin\' the Wave$

Well personally, I'm through making an effort to see Gerry in person. If he happens to be somewhere I am, so be it. But I'm not going to go out of my way anymore. Too many bad luck/bad timing scenarios, and too many bad experiences in general have left me more than a bit shellshocked.

Subject: Re: Hollywood, here I come! Tue Apr 28, 2009 12:47 pm

Well, I can't really blame you, kid.

Forget Gerry! Come and meet ME! LOL!

In all seriousness, our time to meet will probably come in Chicago in 2010.

Subject: Re: Hollywood, here I come! Tue Apr 28, 2009 12:48 pm

Good luck, Leo and have a great time! bounce

Subject: Re: Hollywood, here I come! Tue Apr 28, 2009 12:49 pm

Now, Chicago, I can do!!!!

Subject: Re: Hollywood, here I come! Tue Apr 28, 2009 12:52 pm

Why, what's going on in Chicago?

Subject: Re: Hollywood, here I come! Tue Apr 28, 2009 12:53 pm

Comic Con 2010.

Subject: Re: Hollywood, here I come! Tue Apr 28, 2009 1:02 pm

Oh, that. I had reported that a while ago, but lost touch with what was going on with it.

I thought maybe there was a premiere I didn't know about or something.

Subject: Re: Hollywood, here I come! Tue Apr 28, 2009 3:29 pm

PJ, Leo and DK all together in the one big city??
Throw in a little Oggs (possibly) and you have a whole world of trouble right there! Hollywood, here I come! 852437

Chicago is a lot of fun. I have relatives that live there.

It's been years upon years since I've visited, though.

Subject: Re: Hollywood, here I come! Tue Apr 28, 2009 6:05 pm

So right, Nay!

Chicago is a great city. Of course, I'm partial. I was born there. Went "downtown", as we call it, here, all the time. I grew up in the northern suburbs, but now I'm out in the "country", so it's an hour, by train. It's so worth it.

But I have to say, I've never been to a Comic Con before. What are they like? bounce

Subject: Re: Hollywood, here I come! Tue Apr 28, 2009 7:38 pm

PJ....I went to college in Lake Forest, Ill. LOL! It was beautiful.

I just missed Robert Redford filming "Ordinary People" by like...a couple of months.

Subject: Re: Hollywood, here I come! Wed Apr 29, 2009 9:33 am

Oh my gosh...Lake Forest...I think I know the college you went to! It used to be a high school, right? I went to high school in Wilmette...yes, Nay, an all girls Catholic high school...but the all boys Catholic boys school wasn't far away!!!

This is "kewl", Leo, but I know you're much younger than I am. farao

Subject: Re: Hollywood, here I come! Wed Apr 29, 2009 10:30 am

Yep....it was called Barat....real close to Northwestern

All girls...still taught by nuns.

Had the time of my life.

Subject: Re: Hollywood, here I come! Wed Apr 29, 2009 2:03 pm

Do I hear Chicago???? Nay I would not make any trouble..muaahaaahaa.
I am only 2 1/2 drive from Chicago so I will have to make plans for 2010....

I am planning a trip to Boston on 7/25 for a reunion with people I went to school with in Paris.. I have not seen these people in 30 years but have got in touch with a lot of them through Facebook.
and yes Nay and Dallas I am getting old.....Only 35 more days of being 44.....OMG...
